Which form of radiation is used to directly INCREASE the temperature of water in a nuclear reactor?

The correct answer to the question is : Gamma radiation.

EXPLANATION:

In a nuclear reactor, the water is heated due to the radiations coming from nuclear fission.

In the radioactive decay of uranium or other radio active substances, three types of radiations are produced which are known as alpha particle, beta particle and gamma ray.

Alpha particle is the double charged helium nucleus while beta is the stream of electrons. Hence, alpha and beta are the material particles. They are not radiations.

The gamma ray is an electromagnetic radiation. Hence, this will be responsible for heating water.

Hence, the correct answer is gamma radiations.

What is the conductor's resistance if its length is 2m and has a cross-sectional area of 0.7m with a resistivity of4Ωm? a. 1.4 Ω
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The answer is c. 11.42 Ohm

Explanation:

The conductor's resistance is calculated by the formula in the figure.

So, you have to replace the given values into the formula.

Resistance of a conductor is equal to the product of rho by the lengh of the conductor divided the cross-sectional area of the conductor.

R= 4 ohm.m . (2m/o.7m^{2} )\\R=11.42ohm

Please help me, this is a physics test.

Answer:

a = 2 [m/s²]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must make it clear that the starting point when the time is equal to zero, the velocity is 5 [m/s] and when three seconds have passed the velocity is 11 [m/s], this point is the final point or the final velocity.

We can use the following equation.

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 11 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 5 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 3 [s]

11 = 5 + a*3\\6=3*a\\a= 2[m/s^{2} ]

If a 10.0 kg object is on a surface that is inclined 30o and the coefficient of static friction is 0.65, what is the force of st

  fraction equation is<span>
                     F =µR 
 F=friction,µ=coefficient , R=reaction = mg 

use same equation for b part, but the reaction is no longer mg because the plain is now inclined. Draw a forces diagram and you will see that the reaction force can be calculated from the weight of the object and inclination of the plain using trigonometry.</span>
